CZ-83 ejection issues

[SanDiegoMan]

I bought one of these surplus CZ-83 back in October and shot it a couple times at the range. First couple times the pistol worked reliably, no problem. Cleaned it and lubed it up. I stupidly managed to get frog lube in the extractor... last sunday I was shooting it at BLM land...and it was a jam-o-matic. I started off shooting with some dirty Tula ammo. It kept failing to reliably extract...the i shot winchester whitebox with no better results. Now for the fun part. In order to fully clean out the extractor, should I remove it? I hear that pin is a bit difficult to get out. Also, I took a little look at the ejector...is it supposed to wiggle a tiny bit?

If you have an air compressor with a moisture filter you can brush down the whole weapon with dawn dish soap and water. The dawn cuts through all of the lubes and oils but the crucial part is the air compressor so that you can blow out all water from every nook and cranny. If you dont have a compressor then dont use water otherwise rust will set in where you cant get to it.

Ammo? Was it the same as when it worked?

Nah as stated I shooted some awful tula on Sunday. When I started shooting white boxand perfected afterwards.
..Everything malfunctions. I think frog lube+dirty Russian ammo is bad for this guns extractor.

Tap out the extractor pin, r wove extractor and spring, clean parts and extractor housing on slide, add a little oil and reinstall.

Figured it out. Bad mags. Turns out a lot of companies make terrible aftermarket mags for the CZ83.
